About people dropping:
Atrocities dropped because he was in the hospital for over a week, unexpected admittance for stomach pain did not give him a chance to make game arrangements.  He went in, and they admitted him.  Then he spent the week in ICU.  
I dropped because my job now has me out of town five or six days a week.  
I think the game was going great, and really hated to drop.  I hope that the game continues to run and that someone beats the **** out of the Borg for me.
